Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Cowboys robbed the room for Styles. Final grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sonny Styles, the No. 103 name on the board, stolen at slot 177.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If Moss pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Matayo Uiagalelei
They read the board right and Matayo Uiagalelei was the payoff at the 41st pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick47 Rnd2 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 DeAndre Moore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 73rd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at No. 109 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick115 Rnd4 Le'Veon Moss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Le'Veon Moss in slot 115, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nolan Rucci
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nolan Rucci this early at pick 148. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at Round 6, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Haynes King
Haynes King in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
